Each weight class is divided into two morning heats and an afternoon final. The conference coaches' poll decides heat assignments, with both crews in the same heat as Princeton this year.

Sure enough, those calling in to support Liddy would be innocent and good people. They watched the aftermath of bombing with the utmost curiosity. As long as nobody they knew or loved had fallen victim, lying helpless and hopeless under the collapsed building, the entire event...
